Hot chili and cold beer to flow in Tequesta at Saturday cook-off

If great beer and chili are on the top of your list this weekend (And why wouldn’t they be?), be sure to make plans to attend the Fourth Annual Tequesta Firefighters and Tequesta Brewing Company Chili Cookoff and Beer Tasting Saturday.

The Beer Guy-approved event has grown each and every year and for good reasons. Chili, beer, good cause, fun people. Duh.

Organizer and firefighter David McGovern tells me this year will be bigger than ever, with over 20 firefighter/EMS teams from Port St. Lucie to Ft. Lauderdale competing for your taste buds. To wash down all that spicy chili, there’s plenty of quality craft beer from Tequesta Brewing Company.

The Beer Guy

Your $30 admission fee not only allows you access to all the chili and beer you can responsibly handle, but also helps veterans visit the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. I’d say, win, win… and win. Oh, and by the way, after all that chili and beer, you could drive away with a new car. (Yes, there’s a charity raffle.)

Entertainment will be on stage throughout the day, with the likes of The Lahinch Mob, Dani Augustt, Palm Beach County Firefighters Pipes and Drums like you’ve never seen, or heard, and some nice surprises.
